Athletic Hall of Fame

Dr. John (Jack) Sunderbruch - Team Physician

Inducted into Hall of Fame in 1981
Honored a second time by the Hall of Fame in 2006


Dr. Jack Sunderbruch was first inducted into the Hall of Fame 25 years ago. We are honoring him again for exemplifying the key characteristics that St Ambrose athletics represents. Through his lifelong commitment to serve others, his total dedication to his craft and his commitment to the community, Dr Sunderbruch led a truly impressive life that would be difficult to emulate.

He was a consistent figure on the St Ambrose sidelines for over four decades. His generosity to freely give his time, efforts and treasures touched virtually every student athlete that came into contact with the good doctor.

Even though he was initially inducted as a Hall of Fame member in 1983, we felt compelled with his passing this past year to honor him with a special recognition, honoring him this second time. So, while he cannot be here physically with us tonight, we know his spirit lives on and is strong in St Ambrose Athletics
